YES:
ABRIGHTER
TOMORROW
IS
COMING!
by
Ronald D. Kelly
Sooner than many expect, a world of peace and happiness
will be right here-on planet Earth.
F
OR
50
YEARS,
on radio
and television, a voice
has rung out, "Well
greetings, friends around the
world. This is Herbert W.
Armstrong bringing you the
GOOD NEWS
of the
WORLD
TOMORROW!"
Good news? ls there any?
The world tomorrow? What's
that?
For 50 years the news of the
world today has seldom been good.
Wars, rumors of war, earthquakes,
volcanos, hurricanes, tornados, po–
litical upheaval, coups and rebel–
lions, drought and hunger have
dominated the headlines.
Yet for 50 years Mr. Armstrong
and the
Plain Truth
magazine have
constantly reported there is
GOOD
NEWS.
The good news is that humanity
at long last will be shown the way
to peace, prosperity and happiness.
But how?
Too Good to Be True?
Many simply cannot imagine a
world without strife, upset weather,
war.
But that's the world prophesied
46
for tomorrow in the book we call
the Bible.
Can you imagine a world where
nations live at peace? Where not
one dollar is budgeted for defense?
Where no family has to worry
about sons and daughters being
sacrificed on a battlefield? Where
words like
tank, battleship, bomb,
warhead
and
holocaust
are only in
the vocabulary of historians?
Can you further imagine a world
where hu rr icanes never blow
ashore? Where tornados nevcr
touch down? Where all volcanos
are extinct? Where earthquakes
never occur?
This is prophesied for nations
that will choose to follow God's
way of life.
And can you believe a world
wbere drought need never affect a
crop? Where hunger is unheard of?
Where floods never destroy homes?
Where rain falls in due season?
Where food supplies are more than
adequate to support the population
of tbe enti re world?
This is also prophesied. But for a
few nations who will have to learn
lessons the hard way, God will
withhold such blessings till they
learn how to live. Read Zechariah
14:17 as an example:
"Tf
any of the
peoples of the eartb do not go up to
Jerusalem to worship tbe King, the
Lord Almighty, tbey will have no
rain" (NIV throughout, except
where noted).
In the day of God's kingdom,
upset weather or other less than
desirable conditions will only be
used to teach that following God's
laws leads to all the good anyone
could possibly want.
And can you imagine a world
where people learn to respect the
music, dance, art, looks, abilities
and talents of each other?
Too good to be true?
No-that's what has been proph–
esied in the pages of the Bible for
thousands of years. And that has
been the message of this magazine
for 50 years.
But How Can This Be?
This utopian world of which we
speak is not going to be brought
about by the efforts of men. It will
not come from peace conferences,
unilateral discussions and summit
meetings.
For nearly 6,000 years mankind
has proved incapable of living at
peace. No forro of human govern–
ment has brought universal peace
and happiness. And scientists have
